If only there were a 4 AND A HALF STAR option. Facilities are perfect, instructions are clear, Trainers and Testers... are, like everyone you'll see in the great cafeteria, very welcoming. THIS IS RELEVANT because nobody likes the uncomfortable silence that comes of being an outsider, especially if you're fretting over an upcoming test. The staff (who, remember, won't see you next week after you've finished your course) chat to you like you're one of them. Feeling you're one of the workers really does help, it gets your mindset ready for the course and the test, KEEP THAT. Why only 4 and a half stars?... I'll be brutally honest, it would go down further if certain office staff spent more time in the cafeteria. This review is written during the Covid times of mask wearing and, I hate to have to bring this up, too many of the office staff wander in and out WITHOUT A MASK despite everyone else complying with the notices (no doubt deemed necessary by someone in the offices!) to WEAR A MASK because it's a public place. While everyone else (people who work OUTSIDE AND AT DISTANCE) took off their masks to eat, these repeat offenders would leave their offices (high risk for virus contagion) and walk amongst the diners. My beef is that these diners, if infected by these people, will lose money and perhaps homes, while any infected office worker could probably work from home. I witnessed heated debates over this as rule-abiding groundworkers were simply smiled at and poo-poo'd by office based offenders. STOP THIS Away from that unacceptable practice, I have NO criticism or complaint. Everything is so clear and easy to understand, spelled out simply, and the testers have common sense. If you're not safe, they won't pass you out into a dangerous environment with a certificate to get yourself in trouble but, if you're safe, they'll simply advise you on any areas you may need to improve on so you can take your pass cerificate into a job where you can keep learning the skills these excellent Trainers have set you up with. If you're reading this in a mask-free world where CoVid is just a bad memory, this is a FIVE STAR REVIEWread more

I just completed a CAT & GENNY course, very impressed by the instructor (Mike) his knowledge, experience and teaching... skill was impeccable. What used to be a one day course (Too long) has been refined into a half day course without losing quality only gaining in engagement. I will certainly look for courses with CISTC in future. Thanks again!read more

in July i had my first training course which was held remotely vis Microsoft Teams, i was apprehensive and unsure... whether i would be able to get from the course what i need. i was very pleasantly surprised. it was a slow burner as all other attendees were unsure how it was going to play out, but as the course went on we all grew in confidence and we were comfortable with the "new normal" course style. there was more homework than if you attended but this was only to be expected. the tutor Paul Green made us all feel at ease and managed to get accross the information necessary for us all to understand and be able to complete the course. there was sufficient time allowed for reviewing coursework and for general discussion regarding the course content. i feel far more comfortable if i need to take another remote course. Paul did a great job, the course was informative, educational, instructive, relaxed. Paul, see you in 5 years time. thanksread more

Did my SMSTS with the CISTC - I think it was one of the first times the course had been taught on-line by the CISTC,... and appart from a couple of entirely undertandable queries with documentation, it was a good course and well taught. The course worked well, and the tutor ensured the group all contributed and learnt together. My only reservation (hence the four star rating instead of a 5 rating) is the GE700 course book which was supplied electronically and not as a hard copy as I'd expected. Great to have it loaded on my laptop, but most of the delegates found it harder to study, as you can't resize the font for ease of reading and the zoom function is best described as clunky (the original is an A4 book that has been scaled to fit the screen). Buying a hard copy direct from the CITB costs an additional £90.read more

Due to the current Covid 19 restriction the SMSTS 5 Day Course has been adapted by CISTC in order to deliver a remote... learning course through Microsoft Teams. Despite being a first for all concerned, the course was excellent. The instructor Stuart delivered the course with great insight and used a range of teaching styles to engage all the participants in order to cover the large volume of K/U within the course. The only issue with the course was electronic textbooks having to be provided opposed to paper text books but this was a result of the circumstance. I would certainly recommend online training courses from CISTC, particularly to companies based in rural / remote locations.read more
